ORDDU: My sisters and I had a feeling this area wouldn't really open in February--as had been reported a couple of months ago--because it just didn't look as though the construction for it would be completed that soon. Even March seems a bit of a stretch but we'll see...

well i mean there's really not that much more left to do. the train station is essentially done now, I believe all the tent skins are on, the base for both dumbos have been installed and the new one is near completion (they were only going to ever have one open in the beginning anyways), the queue is all complete except for one roof and the interactive elements are being brought in now, and casey jr water area is basically done now as well. so all the main work that really needs to be done is the great goofini, which still needs some ride elements installed and clean up, and the dumbo interactive queue.

This section really doesn't excite me, and I had really hoped they'd leave Snow White open until the Mine Coaster was operational. Sad that they didn't even include a single new dark ride in the expansion.

I do believe that The Little Mermaid counts as a dark ride.

You're totally correct and I felt stupid later on last night after having posted that. But I was thinking more of traditional B or C-ticket dark rides, not major epic D-scale. But yeah, in fact WDW's Fantasyland will not have a net loss after Snow White closes, but a slight net gain.

ORWEN: Of course I'm not all that excited about the Seven Dwarves coaster ride. I'd rather have the Snow White's Scary Adventures stay right where it is. Unless there are some really nice show scenes inside the Dwarf coaster--which I don't think there will be--it'll just be a rollercoaster and not even a long one from what I hear. I was even talking to one of the dwarves about it--Sleepy--and he said he's afraid he'll be awakened all the time if he has to go to work inside that mine!

I heard and have seen on here that there will actually be a couple of great themed show scenes on the interior, not on the level of SWSA however, but enough to make a balance between thrill and dark ride.
